Israeli Strikes in Iran Kill Over 60, Disrupt Talks

Israeli airstrikes on Friday struck multiple sites across Iran, including Tehran, where a 14-story residential building was hit and partially collapsed, killing at least 60 people, including 20 children, according to Iranian state media. Among those killed were high-ranking Iranian military officials, notably Chief of Staff Mohammad Bagheri, as well as several top commanders and scientists. The attacks also targeted uranium enrichment and nuclear facilities, with the UN nuclear watchdog confirming multiple hits but no radiation leaks. Iran retaliated with ballistic missile attacks on Israel, resulting in at least three deaths and more than 150 injuries. Israeli strikes continued Saturday, hitting military bases in western and northwestern Iranian cities and causing further casualties. The escalation has disrupted planned US-Iran nuclear talks and heightened regional tensions.
